Surgical management of glaucoma in microspherophakia using quadruple procedure
Background: Microspherophakia is a rare developmental lens anomaly with increased anteroposterior and reduced equatorial diameter. It presents with refractive myopia, shallow anterior chamber, and angle closure glaucoma. It is associated with subluxated or dislocated lens, progressive myopia, defect...

| description | Background: Microspherophakia is a rare developmental lens anomaly with increased anteroposterior and reduced equatorial diameter. It presents with refractive myopia, shallow anterior chamber, and angle closure glaucoma. It is associated with subluxated or dislocated lens, progressive myopia, defective accommodation, and glaucoma. Glaucoma is the most common vision-threatening complication and mostly requires surgical management that includes trabeculectomy, lensectomy, and drainage implant. A staged or combined procedure can be performed. The purpose of this video is to highlight the advantages of combining parsplana vitrectomy (PPV) with parsplana lensectomy (PPL), scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL), and Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) in a young patient with advanced glaucoma and gross subluxation. Drainage implants are preferred over filtering surgeries in eyes undergoing vitreoretinal procedures due to the risk of bleb fibrosis and hypotony seen in the latter. The combined procedures should be tailored according to the lens status and severity of glaucoma in each patient. Purpose: The purpose of this video is to illustrate a combined quadruple procedure (PPL, PPV, SFIOL, and AADI) in microspherophakic patients with unstable glaucoma and video-based skill transfer to a novice surgeon. Synopsis: This video illustrates quadruple surgery in a microspherophakic patient with secondary angle closure glaucoma. The authors also emphasize the advantages of a combined quadruple procedure over staged procedure or combined PPL with filtering procedure. Highlights: Quadruple procedure can be performed in young microspherophakic patients with advanced glaucoma or at risk of progression and losing central vision along with gross subluxation of lens. It eliminates the need for multiple procedures, the risk of hypotony, and bleb-related complications.
